Healthy Indiana Plan Reaches Capacity, Stops Enrollment

Posted By caadmin July 31, 2014

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration has stopped current enrollment to its current Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), a program created back in 2008 to provide health insurance to low-income families at or below the federal poverty line. The state sets a limit on how many people can sign up. It can only handle 45,000 people a month for the program because of the $112 million set aside from the Indiana Tobacco Tax to fund it.
